10 April 2024 FIR >> Criminal Law  

The article discusses a legal dispute regarding the applicability of revision under Section 397 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (the Code) to an order directing investigation under Section 156(3) of the Code.

There are two main scenarios considered in the article - one before an FIR is filed and another after. There is disagreement among the courts about whether revision is available in such cases. Some judgments hold that revision is not available after an FIR is filed, whereas others hold that revision is always available.

The Bombay High Court has not taken a position on this specific dispute.
